Medical Disclaimer

Last updated: July 1, 2026. Effective: July 1, 2026.

AteMate is a health journaling tool designed to support awareness, not to replace the care of a qualified healthcare professional. Please read this disclaimer carefully. By using AteMate, you acknowledge that the app is for informational and personal journaling purposes only. If you have questions about your health, nutrition, or medical condition, please consult a licensed healthcare provider.

1. Not Medical Advice

AteMate is a personal health journaling application. The content, features, and information available through AteMate, including any insights, trends, or patterns surfaced by the app, are intended solely for general informational and personal journaling purposes.

Nothing in AteMate constitutes, or should be construed as, medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or a substitute for professional medical consultation. This applies to all content within the app, including information related to food, movement, sleep, hydration, mood, and the measurements you log.

2. No Doctor-Patient Relationship

Your use of AteMate does not create a doctor-patient, dietitian-client, therapist-patient, or any other professional healthcare relationship between you and Piqniq, Inc., the company behind AteMate, or its affiliates.

The app does not evaluate your individual health circumstances, and any patterns or insights generated by AteMate should not be interpreted as personalized medical guidance.

3. Consult a Professional

Always seek the advice of a qualified healthcare provider before making changes to your diet, exercise routine, medication, or any other health-related behavior. This is especially important if you:

• Have or suspect you may have a medical condition, eating disorder, or chronic illness

• Are pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant

• Are taking prescription medications that may be affected by dietary changes

• Have a history of disordered eating, mental health conditions, or body image concerns

• Are under the care of a physician for any ongoing health issue

• Experience sudden or unexplained changes in your health or wellbeing

Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking care because of something you read in or logged within AteMate.

If you are struggling with an eating disorder or disordered eating, you are not alone, and support is available. Please reach out to a qualified professional or an eating disorder support organization, such as the National Alliance for Eating Disorders (allianceforeatingdisorders.com), which offers a free helpline and therapist referrals.

4. Our Philosophy, Not a Clinical Tool

AteMate is built around the belief that awareness, not restriction, is the foundation of lasting health. Our app helps you notice patterns and build understanding about your own habits over time.

AteMate is designed to support your self-awareness journey, not to prescribe, diagnose, or direct your health decisions. We celebrate patterns over perfection, and we encourage you to work alongside, not instead of, healthcare professionals who know your full picture.

5. About the AI Coach

AteMate includes an AI Coach. The AI Coach is artificial intelligence, not a human, and it says so. It generates responses based on the information in your journal and general knowledge, to help you reflect on your own patterns and habits.

The AI Coach is not a doctor, dietitian, therapist, or any other licensed professional, and it does not provide medical, nutritional, psychological, or other professional advice. It does not diagnose, treat, or manage any condition. Its responses, like all AI generated content, can be incomplete or inaccurate and may not fit your individual circumstances, so use your judgment and check anything important with a qualified professional.

The AI Coach is not a crisis or emergency service. If you are in crisis or experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, contact your local emergency services or a crisis line right away. In the United States, you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.

6. Not a Medical Device

AteMate is a general wellness product. It is not a medical device, and it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition. AteMate has not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or any other regulator for any medical purpose.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Piqniq, Inc., the company behind AteMate, and its affiliates, officers, employees, agents, and licensors shall not be liable for any health outcomes, injuries, or damages, direct or indirect, arising from your use of or reliance on any content, features, or information provided through the application.

Your use of AteMate is at your own discretion and risk. You are solely responsible for any decisions you make regarding your health based on information logged or surfaced within the app. This section works together with Section 14 of our Terms of Service, including its exceptions for liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

8. Emergency Situations

AteMate is not designed for use in medical emergencies. If you or someone you know is experiencing a medical emergency, call your local emergency services (such as 911 in the United States) immediately. Do not use AteMate to seek guidance in urgent or life-threatening situations.

9. Questions
